M. J. Scott

First in a new fantasy series from the author of the Novels of the Half-Light City. Entangled in a court ruled by tradition and intrigue, a young witch must come to terms with newfound power and desire-and a choice between loyalty and survival.... The royal witches of Anglion have bowed to tradition for centuries. If a woman of royal blood manifests powers, she is immediately bound by rites of marriage. She will serve her lord by practicing the tamer magics of the earth-ensuring good harvests and predicting the weather. Any magic more dangerous is forbidden. Lady Sophia Kendall, thirty-second in line to the throne, is only days away from finding out if she will be blessed-or perhaps cursed-with magic. When a vicious attack by Anglion's ancient enemies leaves the kingdom in chaos, Sophia is forced to flee the court. Her protector by happenstance is Lieutenant Cameron Mackenzie, a member of the royal guard, raised all his life to be fiercely loyal to the Crown. Then Sophia's powers manifest stronger than she ever imagined they would, and Cameron and she are inextricably linked in the process. As a witch unbound by marriage rites, Sophia is not only a threat to the established order of her country, but is also a weapon for those who seek to destroy it. Faced with old secrets and new truths, she must decide if she will fight for her country or succumb to the delicious temptation of power....

Blood Kin

An exciting dark and sexy futuristic urban fantasy series from RITA® Award nominated author M.J. Scott. My mother was a wicked witch. And all her spells ever brought was trouble. Since her death, with no power of my own, I’ve stayed far, far away from magic . . . In a San Francisco struggling to recover from earthquakes and rising seas, and where technology can do things that are close enough to magic anyway, Maggie Lachlan is a computer whisperer. The one they call when no one else can find the elusive bug bringing a complex system to its knees. They call her the Techwitch. But she knows there’s nothing magical about what she does. It’s just hard-earned skill. So when Damon Riley, owner of the world’s biggest virtual reality gaming company comes calling with a problem that his entire empire of geeks can’t fix, Maggie leaps at the job. Riley Arts is the kind of place she feels at home. Wall-to-wall tech. No magic. Except, perhaps, for the unsettling chemistry she has with the man in charge. But she never imagined stepping into one of Damon’s games would reveal her mother lied about Maggie’s magic. Or that technology could break a spell she never knew she was under.Now she has a demon hunting her and a whole world she knows nothing about to navigate. To save herself—and the world—she needs to learn fast. Because, when it comes to magic, too many games are wicked. And if you lose, the price can be very, very high . . . Wicked Games is the first book in the TechWitch series, an ongoing urban fantasy series from RITA® Award nominated author M.J. Scott set in a not-too far-future where tech and magic don’t always get along. This series has witches, demons, virtual reality, gamers, sexy times and an ongoing relationship that will have an HEA.

A Four Arts Novella

In Double Feature! author M. J. Scott delivers two journals of advice, tribute and home-spun humor. First up is "Just Call Me Mom" which brings into intuitive focus what being a mother really means in our stressed and emotionally fragmented world. She follows that up in her hilarious account of life with a talking garment in "The Purple Bathrobe." "Just Call Me Mom" takes a generational look at the critical role that love plays in the relationships among children, mothers and grandmothers. Author Scott draws from her long career as an educator working with children and their parents and grandparents to capture unconditional love in her word canvas so that the reader can be reminded in a glance the healing power of love. For over thirty years, M. J. Scott has worn her beloved purple bathrobe, which has born witness to the countless dramas, achievements and social events of her successful lifetime. Once she had the thought, "If this robe could talk!," she realized that her hilarious conversations with her uniquely talented bathrobe would serve to lighten life for her readers. And so "The Purple Bathrobe" was born! A wily and devoted observer of her life, the bathrobe likes to question her actions so that the author can confirm the wisdom of the daily choices she makes. The conversations are humorous and affectionate, and the reader is likely to learn a thing or two also from this veteran, frequently-worn garment! The well-traveled M. J. Scott, USA, bubbles with enthusiasm that overpowers dull words on paper. Her greatest joy is in meeting people and discovering their hidden gifts and talents.
